they did the damn thing

Sure, it's NYFW, but you know what else happened? The Westminster Dog Show, that's what. And we were actually there for it, befriending every wet-nosed critter we could: From the majestically enormous, mop-like creatures to the elegant, agile pups with crazy-small ears. All reports confirm that most of the dogs had a good time, too: There were new smells to be experienced, treats to be rewarded with, and skills to show off. One might even say that these dogs were turnt up.

Click through to see these floppy angels as they noodle around, competing for Best In Show, and stay turned for our video in which we interview all of them, except the ones who very literally turned their noses up at us.

Real story: We saw these dogs getting their fur straightened. These dogs have better hygiene than us.

This guy's name is Mr. Prancy Pants. (It is not, but what if it was?)

In order to persuade this mop-friend to kiss senior digital editor Gabrielle Korn on the face, his handler rubbed a meat treat on her cheek. It turns out that this is an ancient mop wedding ritual, so now they are legally married in five different states. Jealous?

Try to imagine this dog not talking with a Scottish accent. Just try NOT to.

This dog has no eyes, but that's okay—it is guided by a divine light.

Someone tried to tell us that this dog is related to the Obama family dog, but we were too distracted by his butt-to-face ratio to focus on the details.

So, this was the winner, who is indeed very cute...but she looks a little bit entitled-feeling, doesn't she? She's all, "OBVIOUSLY, I won. Obviously."
